MFG Day

Mark your calendars for National Manufacturing Day, first Friday in October!

MFG DAY, a nation-wide career awareness event, is held on the first Friday in October. Manufacturers across the country hold open houses to spotlight the wide range of high-skill, high-pay career opportunities available in contemporary manufacturing facilities and to highlight manufacturing's vital role in national and regional economies.

MFG DAY is co-produced by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International, the National Association of Manufacturers, the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and others, and organized locally by DRMA. DRMA offers a host of services and resources to member companies to assist them with conducting their open houses.
